Un rhum d’exception, pas le palais habitué à boire du caroni mais dès l’ouverture, une odeur qui vous transporte et qui vous rappelle des longs dimanches d’hiver. Le nez goudronné, pétrole propre à la trinidad et un fort mélange entre le caramel et un poil de vanille. À la bouche le caramel se révèle de façon plus importante entouré d’un gras huileux industriel qu’on utilise pour faire fonctionner des machines des années 20. Un délice et un voyage !
Caroni 2000 US bottling almost freshly opened - a very nice find at Pusser‘s in Munich. Lacking the side-by-side versus the EU edition, from memory this is on par. As for the EU bottling, this is a very nice expression of the 2000 vintage with high intensity, dirt and some dried fruits. Works very well at the reduced ABV imo.
